Forever: Season One Ratings

Published: May 8, 2015

The Tuesdays at 10pm timeslot has been a big ratings problem for ABC for quite awhile. Show after show has been cancelled. Will their new Forever series change that trend? Will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.

On the Forever TV show, New York City’s star medical examiner is Doctor Henry Morgan (Ioan Gruffudd). He can ascertain things that most can not because of his vast experience — he’s been alive for 200 years but can’t figure out how or why. The rest of the cast includes Alana de la Garza, Lorraine Toussaint, Donnie Keshawarz, Joel David Moore, and Judd Hirsch.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Final season averages: 1.12 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.93 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.

Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

Try to renew the show & bring a second season .. It was a great show & better than the CSI crime shows these days, they are all the same at least Forever was a different & exciting kind of show.. Loved it.

I loved watching this show. That’s why I googled it, to see if there was a second season to it. Only to be gobsmacked to find out that it been cancelled . It was great . Couldn’t wait to see what the outcome would in new. But now i will never know. Bummer.

Forever is a sophisticated creative beautifully structured show. The total casting was perfect specially Ioan Gruffudd & Alana de la Garza. Ioan Gruffudd gave this character life with the touch of his awesome mature and beautiful acting. Doctor Henry Morgan is a very rare and special character no other movie or TV show have created a character like this. This character is chivalrous , honorable , genius and smart and superior in its own terms. This show is unique and beloved otherwise for how many TV shows fans creates social media campaign to save the series when they get cancelled.… Read more »

I really can’t believe the shows been cancelled after just one series…. Me and my wife just started watching it this week but already love it, great cast, interesting story lines and subtle twists that just keep grabbing your attention.
I really do have to ask myself why would such a great show be cancelled and absolute garbage like “the only way is essex”, “ex on the beach” etc be allowed to melt viewers minds with the drivel they come out with!
Really do hope that another network looks into it!

Just can’t believe this show is not coming back. I asumed it was a sure thing. I guess I have no idea what appeals to people anymore. So much crap on television right now. It would be nice to see a series like forever with interesting stories and great characters return. I am so disappointed. Because I liked it I just assumed it would appeal to lots of people – guess I was wrong.

As I have said many many many times BRING BACK FOREVER are the network television executives blind and deaf hundreds if thousands of people want forever back on the air yet they still do nothing so I have o quit watching network TV altogether do I hope Hulu or Netflix or prime picks up this well written show

This was a great show…lots of mystery and intrigue…actually an intelligent American show that my whole family loved to watch. It had humor and history and was fun too. So much garbage is on TV, the network should have moved it to an earlier time. Not sure how ratings work…we record everything and never watch anything “live” so how do they really know who was watching. Bring it back!!!!

The network made a huge mistake cancelling forever because it’s the best shows on TV today the cast has great chemistry the writing is superb and has an excellent story line please bring it back or let Netflix do it or Hulu or whoever but the network really dropped the ball on this one for sure

I’m still with ya! I have NOT watch ANY net work TV. I’ so done! honest to GOD I have watch NO network T V since Forever went off. NOT ONE time. If anything ‘I ‘ve starting read more listen to music and do other stuff. I haven’t even DVRed anything. I’ll just put in a DVd TV Series . At this point why do I even have cable. For the price I pay I could go buy a few TV Series each month.

I think you’re right, Monica — It WAS “too good for TV! I am very impressed with the response from Forever’s fans ~ still protesting the ending of this very special series months and months later. I am NOT impressed by the failure of the network to address this very persistent stream of tributes (many feeling like obituaries) to Forever.

I very disappointed that Forever has been cancelled. I so looked forward to watching it
Every week. I loved it! It was a lot of fun because it was different. I’m hoping they might bring it back, if a lot of people voice their feelings about it…. Why don’t take cancel some of the other stupid shows that are on??? Forever, Angie

I haven’t even turned on network TV since Forever was canned. I’m DONE with network TV. I’ll go to other places where they will at leased give a show a chance to grow. I’m tired of getting invested in a show for the network only to turn around and cancel it…EVEN when it’s not doing that bad. Which Forever was doing GOOD in a BAD time slot! It did better than other shows! They won’t give shows a chance to grow. To gain an audience. They won’t advertise it or promoted it if it’s not a fire cracker right off… Read more »

Re: “Forever”: I thought this was one of the best series on TV. Now, Tuesday is a bore and I wind up reading or doing other things. “Forever” was exciting and educational. Please bring it back. It deserves another shot and, at least, a final ending.
